I found out baggers and cashiers make $18 an hour vs the $17.53 I make as a barista even though I haven’t really worked in that department since I got here. The leads wanted to get me to do deli and bakery in the mean time while they hire a lead but I also refused. Finally quit today since I’m sick of not having a place in this store and not being paid the same amount as other people doing the same job. Bye Fred’s!
